I love every thing about the dual reactor except the support frame. The reactors are heavy duty and well built. That is good to see. The frame needs to be stronger over time i'm sure the frame will have to be replaced. This is the only reason i'm giving it 3 stars.

I've had the reactor for just over 4 weeks, now. T have done my first GFO/Carbon change over and so far I'm impressed! The canisters come off with no issues, I'm able to do a full media swap within 10 minutes!

One of my complaints, which is mentioned in the BRS video series, is that you will find yourself having to adjust the ball valve over the period of the 4 weeks. I found myself having to adjust it at least once a week to open it more and more to allow the flow to increase over the age of the GFO.

The Second, is the plastic housing is a little flimsy. With the weight of the chambers filled with water and media, it tends to bend forward and doesn't allow the water to flow through the middle; but more towards the front. So you do not get an equal amount of water flow throughout the cambers. A simple fix for me, I grabbed a 1/4" piece of Fiberboard or MDF, cut it to size, and glued it in place, behind the mount. It has helped to push the bottom of the mount up to keep everything level for a more balanced flow of water inside the chambers.

My recommendation, to BRS, is to add a release valve on the top of the unit, similar to the single Deluxe unit. I had found air entering the first chamber constantly. The easiest way I have found to fix it, is by reducing the ball valve to barely allow water to pass through. This helps fill the chamber and push the air out of the reactor.

Overall, I'm pleased with it, and it was definitely the way to go, rather then having to buy two separate reactors!

I got this for my 55 and now I have it on a 125 and its still doing great. Im thinking of getting another or maybe getting a larger one. Very easy to change media and easy to work.

Works great, better than more expensive ones I have used. Another great thing about it versus other reactors is that all the gfo and carbon stay in the reactor and do not get flushed into the tank over time.

only one flawBy Jimon 1/26/2014

I agree with the other reviews as far as the bracket is concerned. A sturdy metal bracket would make this much better. Other than that it works as advertised and is a much quicker and neater way to handle filter media.

I ordered the BRS GFO & Carbon Reactor - dual 3 weeks ago from Bulk Reef Supply and recieved it promptly a week later. Set-up was easy except for a minor misunderstanding of how to remove the internal canister lid. Speaking to Ryan, on the online chat feature of the website, quickly assured me that the instructions didn't include the recent modification from a screw off cap to a pop off cap. The unit has been running flawlessly for 2 weeks, and from my experience is a very cost effective way of using active carbon and GFO in your system. The Pros of a Simple design, Cost effective, Overall Performance and Professional Service and Support definately out way the CON of an out of date instruction manual

Another fine quality product from BRSBy RiffeShooter on 1/17/2014

Just as BRS states, this product is simple too use, setup, and maintain. Its build quality matches the RO/DI units and is a nice looking piece. I run GFO and Carbon and everything looks great! Thanks BRS for another great product.

Easy assembly, loaded it up with carbon and GFO, and turned on my maxi jet 1200. Works great!

I purchased the dual carbon and GFO reactor after a battle while hair algae. I needed to start controlling phosphates and wanted some clarity in the water column. Hands down one of the best purchases for my tank. Set us the reactor in about 15 minutes. After a couple weeks I saw a reduction in my algae issue. After a couple months it complete, zero algae! The reactor alone wasn't the answer to my algae outbreak, as I also increased water changes and reduced the amount I fed. But I saw a significant increase on the algae reduction once I installed this reactor. Highly recommend it!

Solid build, except for the mounting bracketBy Markon 1/8/2014

Very nice setup. Running Phosban and cabon at the moment. Will change to GFO when I move it to a new tank. Everything seems solidly built except for the mounting bracket, which is pretty light weight plastic.

Great reactor!By Chrison 12/29/2013

Have been using this reactor for nearly a year now with no leaks and or problems on my 55g reef. Dual reactor is great for carbon, gfo, or whatever else you want to experiment with.
With the recommended amount of product for my aquarium in the reactors the recommended pump works well however if you need to add more product for a bigger setup you'll likely need a bigger pump.
